What Manuel Harris doesn't like about Makai Island Kitchen Groggery:
If you 're local visiting from the Islands, don 't expect too much. I had the Loco moco. The rice was Jasmin and was too watery. The gravy was thin. Cannot mess up the burger and egg. I ordered the Mac salad. I think they used Miracle Whip, not Best Foods. Couldn 't finish it. The revolving floor was a trip, though! I think it goes around once every 30 min. Kinda like the La Ronde at Ala Moana. View all feedback.
